“This is a great vegetarian sandwich that even meat-lovers will like! I came up with this idea after having an asparagus sandwich at a restaurant that my husband and I both loved. It is quick and easy and so yummy!” - by LYSAVANDER

Ingredients

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 hoagie rolls
6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Toss asparagus and red pepper with olive oil. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake until tender, about 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, remove skin from the pepper and slice into strips.
Cut hoagie rolls in half, place on a baking sheet, and toast lightly in the oven. Remove rolls from the oven and sprinkle each half with cheese. Place 4 to 5 asparagus spears and a few strips of pepper on one side. Place slices of tomato on the other side of the roll. Place the hoagies back in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic together. Spread the dressing on one side of the roll and close sandwich.

"This was so good! The roasted red pepper goes so well with the Asparagus. The swiss cheese didn't overpower the taste of the asparagus either. Toasty and tastey. The dressing was a little runny, but i..." See moret was good. I think this sandwich would make up nicely as a paninni too."
